TASFSEER OR EXPLANATION TO AAYATUL KURSY

 THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaatha. 6th day of Swafar, 1445AH (Tuesday, 22nd August, 2023).

*_TASFSEER OR EXPLANATION TO AAYATUL KURSY_*. Bismillah.


Let's continue from the reminder yesterday. There are so many important Tafsir Books But let's concentrate on the Tafseer by Imam Ibn Kathir May ALLAH be pleased with him. Aameen.  Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem. 

 ٱللَّهُ لاَ إِلَـٰهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ ٱلْحَيُّ ٱلْقَيُّومُ 

Meaning, ALLAH! There is none worthy of our worship but HE (There is no other so called god but ALLAH), the Living, the Self-subsisting, Eternal. Imam Ibn Kathir (rah) explains :

(There is no god but ALLAH): It is a statement that HE (ALLAH) is the “ONE AND ONLY” Lord of all creations. (The Living, the Self-subsisting, Eternal) means: HE (ALLAH) is self-existing (i.e. nothing created HIM) and that HE is ever living who can never die. Qayyum is that (attribute) of ALLAH through which others exist. HE is richest of all and nothing can exist without HIS order and WILL. 

 لاَ تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلاَ نَوْمٌ 

Meaning No slumber can seize HIM nor sleep.

The Imam explains (No slumber can seize HIM nor sleep) means: ALLAH could never be negligent, unaware, nor can HE err in regards to HIS creation. Rather HE is completely controlling by being aware of what every soul earns. HIS comprehension upon everything is perfect and nothing can be hidden from HIS knowledge and there could be no secret kept from HIM….

Ibn Abbas (ra) narrates: Once Bani Israel questioned Musa (a.s) whether his Lord ever sleeps? Musa (a.s) replied: FEAR HIM! What kind of question is that? ALLAH called Musa (a.s) and said: Hold 2 bottles in your hands and keep on standing whole night. HE followed ALLAH’s order and did exactly that, but when half of the night went passed he started to slumber and bowed down on his knees, but then he quickly awoke, however in the last part of night he had a deep slumber and both bottles fell from his hands and “GOT BROKEN” Then ALLAH azza Wajjal said: O Musa! If I sleep then the heavens and the worlds would break into pieces just like these bottles. ALLAHU AKBAR. So ALLAH revealed this ayah to his Prophet (Muhammad - Peace be upon him).

 لَّهُ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَـٰوَاتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلأَرْضِ 

Meaning. HIS are all things in the heavens and on earth. Imam Ibn Katheer (rah) explains:

All the servants (including heavens and the worlds) come under HIS “DOMINION” they also come under HIS “POWER AND SULTANATE” just like ALLAH said: Not one of the beings in the heavens and the earth but must come to (ALLAH) Most Gracious as a servant. HE does take an account of them (all), and hath numbered them (all) exactly. And everyone of them will come to HIM singly on the Day of Judgment.[Quran 19:93-95]. Allahu Akbar. To be continued tomorrow in shaaALLAH. *_May ALLAH grant us wisdom of the Quran_*. Aameen.

GIVE CHARITY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Ath-thalaatha. 28th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Tuesday 7th May 2024). *_GIVE CHARITY FOR YOUR OWN GOOD_*. Aameen.  Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: The Prophet (SallallahuAlaihiWasallam) said, "Charity is obligatory everyday on every joint of a human being.* If one helps a person in matters concerning his riding animal by helping him to ride on it or by lifting his luggage on to it, all these will be regarded as charity. A good word, and every step one takes to offer the compulsory congregational prayer is regarded as charity; and guiding somebody on the road is regarded as charity." [Sahih Al-Bukhari, 4/2891]. To show gratitude to ALLAH for keeping your body safe and sound, you should give in charity or do charitable deeds. Narrated Abu Hurairah [radhi-yAllahu 'anhu]: ALLAH'S Messenger (sallallahuAlaihiWasallam) said, "The strong is not the one who overcomes the people by his strength, but the strong is the one w

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will p
